Milborne, Winterborne & Okeford Fitzpaine

The Milborne, Winterborne & Okeford Fitzpaine area lies in the rural heart of Dorset, characterised by rolling farmland and quiet lanes. The villages are nestled among the chalk hills of the Blackmore Vale, with a mix of traditional stone cottages and working farms. The River Winterborne, a seasonal chalk stream, runs through the area, shaping the landscape and supporting local wildlife.

This part of Dorset has a strong agricultural heritage, with dairy and arable farming playing a key role. The villages retain a close-knit community feel, with local events often centred around village halls and historic churches. Walking routes like the Wessex Ridgeway pass through the area, offering views across the Vale to the Dorset Downs. The nearby Hambledon Hill, an Iron Age hillfort, adds a layer of historical significance to the landscape.
